Dear Journal,
As I write in this journal we our about to go on a march. A march to protest demanding more democratic reform! We are marching to the Wenceslas Square. By doing it with a larger group of friends, we hope to accomplish out goal or atleast make our point. This is not going to be easy. Well, time to march!
Sincerely,
Vlad

Dear Journal,
We are currently marching and are slowly approaching out destination. As we close in on it we all start to think of the consequences of our actions. But that does not stop us on our quest for more democratic reform. We could be be jailed! Knowing this my family does not wish that I continue in the march but I must! We have to stand up and fight for a revolution. No more communism!
Sincerely,
Vlad

Dear Journal,
I have just come from the hospital. Not many of us survived the attack. As we marched the police stopped us. And when we refused to stop they beat us and before we knew it there weren't many left of us standing. Though many of us got hurt, our point was put across. The word spread quick of this mis-fortunate rampage and the Revolution has finally started! It was a good and bad experience to be in. Good because your fighting for what you beleive in and bad because of all the harm done. But I would say going against the law and suffering all the pain that we did, it was worth it because of our accomplishment!
Sincerely,
Vlad
